Paul, on Saturday, you discussed YC's 100% satisfaction rating from the founders you've sponsored. I can't imagine that's true for all (non-YC) startups, but I bet it's still extremely high. I hope you do become more comfortable with this, because there are a bunch of us that are living much more inspired lives, and trace part of that inspiration back to you. I'd hate to see you shy away from this because you're nervous about the outcome.

(Fortunately, I don't see any signs that you're actually too concerned. "Why to Not Not Start a Startup" couldn't have come from someone who's wavering!)

I don't think that the failures will report here...

We should start a "Paul Graham convinced me to drop Java / C++" poll to cheer him up.
